Court orders telcos to sort out wireless network row

Nov 13, 2012 (The Age - ABIX via COMTEX) --
The Federal Court of Australia has forced the respective heads of marketing at Telstra and Singtel Optus, Michael Smith and Mark Buckman, to attend mediation over alleged misleading or deceptive conduct by Telstra. Optus claims its rival incorrectly states in its advertising that Telstra has the only fourth-generation (4G) mobile telephone network in Brisbane. While this was true when the campaign was rolled out, Optus has since brought forward its own launch and now offers 4G services as well.
